The boy with hands behind back image was inked with Memento black on kromecote card stock. Copic markers were
used to color boy image and then cut out. Use Copic markers to color white edges with coordinating colors. I do this each time I cut out images. It
seems to make the images pop.

Use scissors to cut a small heart, stamp Be Mine on heart. Use ink blending tool to apply festive berries distress ink and then frame edges with frayed burlap distress
ink. Adhere heart to hand and set aside.
